Once I was playing Football in a Summer Camp. I was In the newbie league. It was in the upper peninsula. I played Running Back. It was no Pads tackle. I ran for 270 yards in my first game. And scored 7 times. And one of the coaches from the top league. And then he asked me to move up to the top. I did and then won the championship with my team.

Once I was playing soccer on a team called the Cardinals ( it's a soccer team) and there was a advanced soccer team coach there watching our team play. Then when the game was done he called me over to him. At first I felt kind of scared and worried. But, then when he asked me if I would like to try out for his team I said maybe because, I was thinking about the fact that I would be leaving my teamates behind. So, then i thought that I could give it a try so I went to his first tryouts and my mom got a call and told that I had made the team I was very happy!!! From then on I played on and Ann Arbor soccer united team and I also made new friends. Savoy-

I was once playing tennis with my dad. He is a really good player. he can hit almost any ball. I was on a losing steak. Then I hit a ball in the very corner of the court and tied the game. I then got a new boost of energy and started to really play hard. I then won the match and then I won the game and won the tournament. Chandra
